 Just did a black & white layer over the color one - erased over the shoes.

Wow... lowest score ever. Well, this was a maternity shoot I did recently. Just made two layers - one B&W one color.. erased the shoes on the B&W layer - didnt jack the saturation up on them - that's the color they were.

Nice selective desat. Are the shoes waiting for baby to be born?

Good idea but I think the POV doesn't show off the belly enough

Cute little shoes, good focus and clarity although composition seems a bit awkward.

this freaks me out. It looks like an invisible person is standing on your belly.

I love the selective desat. I wish the pink had been a little less PINK.

normally not a great fan of selective desat, but it suits your presentation pretty well. However the crop could have been improved IMO. Slightly tighter crop.6

will be curious how you kept the color on the shoes but changed everything else to B&W
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:30:22 AM
maybe a little less saturation on the shoes?

sometimes selective color doesnt work well .... here is not an example

A competant workmanlike photo of a genre that holds no interest for me.
 03/12/2009 07:33:48 PM
Now that's a real hidden gem!

Hopefully it's a girl...you probably already know if you took advantage of technology these days.

Congratulations.

Beautiful idea and good choice of colors! The upper right is kind of distracting for me.

I like the desaturation here. You will find out it will be a long time before he or she will fit in those shoes tho. hahaha.

selective desat works well here, but i would have cropped the bottom a little more.
